BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR
The Buck-Boost Regulator, shown in Figure 35, may step a voltage up or down, depending upon whether or not
the desired output voltage is greater or less than the input voltage. In this case, the output voltage is 12V with an
input voltage from 9V to 15V. The circuit exhibits an efficiency of 75%, with a load regulation of 60 mV (10 mA to
100 mA) and a line regulation of 52 mV.

R4, C1, C3 and C4 are defined in the Boost Regulator section.
D1 and D2 are Schottky type diodes such as the 1N5818 or 1N5819.
